Roby was recalled in place of England's regular hooker Josh Hodgson and he must now wait to see if he will get the nod against Papua New Guinea in Melbourne on Sunday.

"Wayne will speak to us during the week and tell us what his team selection is," said Roby. "There's good rivalry in this squad in pretty much every position. They're all quality players.

"Obviously myself and Josh are rotating in training but that's the same for the other players. We're all competitive by nature and it probably brings out the best in us without us even realising it sometimes."
